Book 1 of The System Trilogy
Ember Quinn is living an ordinary life in battery city. Deprived of her personality and emotions since childhood, she is the perfect example of a perfect citizen. However, after 15 years, she quits her emotion suppressant pills, and sees the "amazing" city for what it really is. A place of lies and secrets with penalties of death if you step out of line. Ember leaves her old self in the city, embracing her Killjoy alter ego as she joins the fight against the people who tore her apart. In her rise to becoming a feared and respected renegade, she makes allegiances, faces betrayals and says goodbye to many people along to way.

Almost Everything
COMPLETED This story is based on Danger Days by My Chemical Romance.... So now's the part where I attempt to do a good description, for all you Fabulous Killjoys! It's hard being a young leader of an extraordinarily talented group of Killjoys, especially when you and your rebellious best friend are just a chorus of problems. That was Silver Venom's life as Dr. Death Defying's daughter and being first in command of what she called her group to be the most 'fabulous' Killjoys. All she wants is to make sure the people that she loves around her are safe, but as everything in her life, major complications always seem to get in her way. Her dream is to change the way the world is- bland and meaningless. She wants life to come back in to the world, this year, 2019- life, colour, music, art and everything that kept the world sane and she believes, that with the help of her best friends; Kobra Kid, Party Poison, Electric Eclipse, Jet Star and Fun Ghoul, she believes that maybe one day... They can be that change.Complete
Haunted {A MCR/Horror Fic}
Okay, so Gerard wasn't exactly ecstatic about where they had ended up. Sure, it was Frank, his best friend's birthday, it was Halloween, and they even had a day of vacation from touring. But when the four of them, Gerard, Frank, Ray, and Mikey, ended up on the outskirts of some random town in Jersey stood in front of a long since abandoned house with all sorts of bad vibes about it, Gerard wasn't all too keen on exploring it. By all means, Gerard loved horror movies and all manners of creepy things, but there was just something wrong about this house, and Gerard knew it. And perhaps Gerard was just a little frightened about the fact that he had no memory of how they had gotten there... And perhaps Gerard was VERY frightened by the looming shadow he had seen in the second story window... --- Comments left on this story: "Okay, I need to say this.

Maybe you'll live for me sometimes, Adeline..." ~~~~~~~~~~ Adeline was only four years old when she was left behind by her parents during the Great Fires of 2012. She would have died if it wasn't for two very kind young men, brothers, noticing the crying, exhausted little girl standing in the middle of the roads surrounded by rubble from burning buildings and deciding to save her life by carrying her away from the fire. These guys would soon grow up to be two out of four of the Fabulous Killjoys, Kobra Kid and Party Poison. Who would Adeline grow up to be? Now, in 2021 at thirteen years old, Adeline lives a sad, boring life alone in a little hut in the desert. The brothers who saved her life hadn't seen Adeline for nine years, since rescuing her, and vice versa. Until one day, they reunite, now with Fun Ghoul and Jet Star on their side. Many disturbing things about her parents are revealed throughout, some surprising and some not-so-surprising which were in front of her face the whole time. ~~~~~~~~~~ DISCLAIMER: This fic has no connection in plot to any of my other Killjoy/Danger Days fics, and all the rights to the Fabulous Killjoys characters belong to Gerard Way, My Chemical Romance, and The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys comic book. ~~~~~~~~~~ TRIGGER WARNING: deals with the sensitive subjects of self-harm, suicide, depression, sexual assault, physical and emotional abuse.

The Wild Escape
Katrina Mars has always had a special connection with her older sister, Keeley, who graduated the year Katrina was in eighth grade. That connection was the same kind of love for pop punk/alternative rock music and their desire to be happy helping one another and others. The two had always been best friends as sisters, and they had always been there for each other. Keeley was even the only friend Katrina ever had, even after she went off to college. Ever since Keeley left for college (which is eight hours away from Katrina's home), Katrina has felt lost, confused, lonely, and sad, not knowing what to do at all with no one to turn to. About five months after Keeley left, at a doctor's visit, Katrina discovers that she has been diagnosed with depression. Although this disappoints her, it is not surprising... For the next couple of years, her parents have become worse and worse towards her, mentally abusing her because of the music she likes, the way she dresses, and her normal personality. This worsens her depression, and being ignored and lonely doesn't help. This is all until she meets Sam Browman, a kid in school who is a lot like her: dresses "emo," listens to "emo" bands, sings and plays a lot of instruments, and goes through troubles at home. Who knows what may happen to these kids who connect through both having troubles at home? This story is set in the year 2011, when My Chemical Romance was together (before the breakup and reunion). WARNING: This story contains mentions and depictions of self-harm, abuse, violence, and bullying. If you are sensitive to these topics, I would not recommend this story to you.Complete
